This answer makes the claim that the Discrete Log problem and RSA are independent from a security perspective.
RSA labs makes a similar statement:
The discrete logarithm problem bears the same relation to these systems as factoring does to the RSA system: the security of these systems rests on the assumption that discrete logarithms are difficult to compute.
Would the ability to efficiently find Discrete Logs have any impact on the security of RSA?
If you had a discrete log oracle could you use it to attack RSA?
